You can configure Eclipse for finding name hiding, too. But I also think that WE should name our variables not just a tool, because WE have to read the code - not only the compiler. So itīs the same with if & ternaries. If itīs "just" a choice between two "static" values its ok (short, readable). But you should not create cascades of them. :-) what about return (callee != null ? calle : super).handleInput(buffer, offset, length); ? I think we could change the names for getting rid of name hiding, but then choose readable names. Jan
